The BIMAs are UK awards that celebrate digital and interactive work. They really mean advertising but geeks will be pleased to know there’s a games section. So, what are the candidates for the best British games of the year? With the advertising and marketing filter on the BIMAs should suggest; Doctor Who: The Adventure Games […]
T-Mobile trolling drivers
I don’t have a car. I live 3 minutes from work and spend at least one day travelling to the airport to fly to London. If I had a car it would either sit outside my flat or in an expensive airport car park. That’s why watching this T-Mobile ad is especially funny for me. […]
Not the new Star Wars blu-ray – Star Wars Moleskine
Geek Native sometimes runs video ads – but only when they’re cool, geeky or interesting. This ad from Moleskine counts as such. We’re not getting paid a penny but that doesn’t matter, some pieces of video content are better off seen than not scene. Most of all; I like the paper explosions! Boom.
2 minute preview of The Immortals
This ad is cunningly 2:22 long. The movie comes out on the 11.11.11. It’s a 3D movie too. I guess someone was feeling clever with the numbers. This is a 300 inspired movie. Ancient hereos, swords and sandals but mixed up with divine magic and mythos. It’s an attempt to remove the gods from the […]
RAGE story video
Have a watch of this video. It’ll introduce you to Bethesda Softwork’s Rage. It’s a shooter but we’re hoping for Bethesda’s typical storytelling style. The video is over two minutes long. It’s a mini-story. It’s actually an ad. I think Bethesda ae being bold and confident in pushing out such an advert. I supect this […]
Rocking teaser clip for Star Wars: The Old Republic
EA have released a new advert for Star Wars: The Old Republic. It’s a set of clips, 30 seconds of The Old Republic goodness, that seem to fly by at light speed. There’s no doubting the success of The Old Republic and Knights franchise. Just taking a gander at Play.com’s matches for Old Republic reveal […]
Chocolate penguin meltdown
Embrance the Meltdown is an online game from Mars. It’s here to pimp Galaxy, Milky Way and Mars brands as we help three penguins named – yup; Galaxy, Milky Way and Mars – across Thick Shake lake. Thick Shake, you say? That’s right. Mars’ new product is Thick Shake which comes in these three flavours. […]
Jump into the D&D Encounters video
The D&D team have had a long form ad for Encounters up on YouTube for just under a week. It’s worth a watch just for the curiosity factor. This video is an interesting marketing angle. It’s too long to be an ad. It doesn’t deep dive into Encounters enough to be educational. I think it’s […]
Lucy Pinder gaming
As part of an advertising campaign for Lynx (strangely known as Ax in the States) their ad agency has uploaded hours of video of Lucy Pinder to YouTube. I looked her up on Wikipedia. She’s a glamour model. There’s a catch. You can ask her to do stuff. Remember Burger King’s funky chicken or the […]
Join the rebellion: Greenpeace blasts VW in “The Dark Side”
This an awesome spoof by Greenpeace that rides on the success of The Force Super Bowl that Vokswagen famously tested online first. Greenpeace UK are clearly unhappy that the car maker is not towing the line when it comes to CO2 emissions. As a result the pressure group has put together this geek friendly and […]
